Greatest Basketball Players Of All Time

This article is a bracket of the best basketball players of all time.

1 Wilt Chamberlain vs John Stockton

Stockton played a key role on the Utah Jazz championship teams, but they could not defeat the Bulls. Stockton and Karl Malone could not beat Jordan and the Bulls, which could prove that Stockton is not a great player

Chamberlain won a couple championships with LA, and cored 100 points in a game once and has been MVP before, which could make him the best player of all time.

Winner: Chamberlan 

2 Michael Jordan vs Oscar Robertson

Robertson is one of the greatest players of all time for what he has accomplished, Olympic berths, Rookie Of The Year, All Star MVP, NBA MVP and a championship. That could lead to the greatest player of all time.

Jordan won Rookie Of The Year, 6 championships, MVP, All Star game MVP and he was a player on the 1992 Dream Team.

Winner: 2 players in my Top 5, but Jordan is better.

3 Kareem Abdul Jabbar vs Larry Bird
